There’s nothing like that exciting feeling when things are happening. When you are moving

forward, growing, in the groove, and getting a chance to utilize your talents. When new opportunities are being created and realized, and you feel a sense of connection and engagement.  That’s – your jam!  But it doesn’t always just happen. Sometimes we need a little help converting that potential into forward motion. In this interactive, creative, and insightful keynote, Rick Lozano will introduce his signature RIFF™ model as a framework for helping create that momentum. He’ll introduce simple strategies that will help your audience:

  • Identify and overcome the obstacles that are impeding development.
  • Utilize existing talents and resources to create new possibilities and opportunities.
  • Simplify and streamline to navigate through all the “noise”.
  • Create a sense of flow and innovation.

And we’ll have a ton of fun, laughing while we learn.
